Abstract: The present invention relates to methods to treat neurological disorders comprising intrathecal injection of an effective amount of a double-stranded (ds) RNA into a subject in need, wherein the dsRNA inhibits the expression of a target gene and to pharmaceutical compositions useful for such treatment.

Abstract: Disclosed in the present invention are antibodies that specifically recognize and antagonize human TSLP receptor, and methods of employing these antibodies to treat or ameliorate diseases or disorder mediated by TSLP signaling.

Abstract: The invention provides a novel class of compounds, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds and methods of using such compounds to treat or prevent diseases or disorders associated with abnormal or deregulated kinase activity, particularly diseases or disorders that involve abnormal activation of the FAK, Abl, BCR-Abl, PDGF-R, c-Kit, NPM-ALK, Flt-3, JAK2 and c-Met kinases.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, hydrates or pharmaceutically acceptable formulations thereof. These compounds may be used to modulate cellular proliferation and to prevent and/or treat proliferative diseases.

Abstract: Compounds of formula I in free or salt form, wherein Ar, R1, R2, R3, X and T have the meanings as indicated in the specification, are useful for treating a condition mediated by CCR-3, particularly an inflammatory or allergic condition such as an inflammatory or obstructive airways disease. Pharmaceutical compositions that contain the compounds and processes for preparing the compounds are also described.

Abstract: Disclosed are compounds of formula I: wherein R1, R2, R3 and X are as defined herein, in free or salt form, which are useful as CCR5 inhibitors, e.g. in the prevention or treatment of disorders mediated by interactions between chemokine receptors and their ligands.

Abstract: The invention relates to pharmaceutically acceptable compounds of formula I, wherein the radicals have the significances given in the description.

Abstract: The invention relates to ?-amino-N-hydroxy-acetamide derivatives of formula I, wherein R is di-lower alkyl amino, 1,2,3-triazol-1-yl, 1,2,3-triazol-2-yl or 1,2,4-triazol-4-yl, m represents an integer from 1 up to and including 10, and n represents an integer from 0 up to and including 10, and salts thereof; to processes for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions comprising said hydroxamic acid derivatives, the use of such hydroxamic acid derivatives as medicaments, and a method of treating conditions or diseases mediated by matrix-degrading metalloproteinases (MMP's) using said derivatives alone or in combination with one or more other therapeutic agents.

Abstract: Compounds of the formula provide pharmacological agents which are inhibitors of PTPases, in particular, the compounds of formula I inhibit PTP-1B and TC PTP, and thus may be employed for the treatment of conditions associated with PTPase activity. The compounds of the present invention may also be employed for inhibition of other enzymes with a phosphotyrosine binding region such as the SH2 domain. Accordingly, the compounds of formula I may be employed for prevention or treatment of insulin resistance associated with obesity, glucose intolerance, diabetes mellitus, hypertension and ischemic diseases of the large and small blood vessels.
